Northern California Hiking Trails Blog Gets Some Attention

I’m pleased that the Northern California Hiking Trails blog has garnered some online attention recently. Tom Mangan’s Bay Area hiking blog Two-Heel Drive gave me a mention:

Soares has an excellent hiking blog for the Shasta-Trinity region of northern California.

Tom has a top-notch blog/website that describes a ton of Bay Area hikes; you’ve got to check it out if you are planning a visit to the Bay Area, or if you just want to see some beautiful photos and read some good writing.

And I googled myself today (felt good!) and found out that I’d gotten some nice press from Renee Casterline over at the Siskiyou County Visitors’ Bureau website:

I just learned about John Soares’ www.northerncaliforniahikingtrails.com – a great resource for those looking to hike in Siskiyou County and the rest of Northern California. The website encourages viewers to purchase his books, and it also include his blog, where you can read about recent adventures and seasonal hiking options.

Freelance writer and photographer Renee Casterline is one of the many talented people who choose to live in the beautiful Mount Shasta area. She’s the co-author with Jane English of Mount Shasta Reflections and has also written numerous magazine articles.

And the Siskiyou County Visitors’ Bureau has a wealth of information about all the fun things to do in Siskiyou County, including descriptions of several local hikes.

OK, enough about me for now. It does feel good to get noticed…
